[Intro]

D G D G

D G D Dm

 

 

[Verse 1]

Dm

I saw the desert wind

G

Tear across the wilderness

Dm                        G

I felt it blowing off the page

D

My teacher told me, "son

G

Always remember this"

Dm                      G     Dm G

And I have always been afraid

 

 

  Dm

I read about the god of Moses

G

Roaring in the holy cloud

Dm                          G

It shook my bedroom window panes

D

I did not understand then

G

I do not understand now

Dm                       G

I don't expect you to explain

 

 

[Chorus]

F                               A#                    F A#

You've been a mystery since the moment that I met you

F                         A#                     F A#

You never move but I can never seem to catch you

                D G D

The cornerstone

 

 

[Verse 2]

Dm

You said to eat your flesh

  G

Before you broke the bread and blessed it

Dm                                   G

Before you poured the wine for every man

D

This is a hard, hard teaching

G

Can any man accept it?

Dm                        G

Can any sage here understand?

 

Dm

You turned the tables over

G

There in your father's temple

Dm                               G

You cracked a whip and raised a shout

D

My daughter asked me why

G

I said, "love is never simple

Dm                        G

It draws 'em in and drives 'em out."

 

 

[Chorus]

F                          A#                           F A#

I saw you there but it was too late to change my course

F                     A#                        F A#

And I collided with a beautiful immovable force

                D G D G

The Cornerstone

D               G

And so the stone that I rejected

D                 G

It has become the cornerstone

D               G

And so the stone that I rejected

D                 G

It has become the cornerstone

 

D G D G

 

 

[Bridge]

D

All the maps were drawn

D

But the maps were wrong

G

The stars spin around

G

Another sun

D

All the maps were drawn

D

But the maps were wrong

G

The rivers are running from

G               D

The cornerstone

 

 

[Chorus]

F                            A#                              F A#

You looked me in the eye and fixed me with a permanent stare

F                           A#                            F A#

I met your gaze and saw the forges of the firmament there

                D

The cornerstone

 

 

[Outro]

Dm                    G

And the floods come up

Dm                     G

And the rains come down

Dm

And the floods come up

G

And the rains come down

Dm

And the floods come up

G

And the rains come down

 

Dm G Dm G
